al_radtofix_r(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the al_radtofix_r(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's part of the Allegro 5 API. The name on the tin is al_radtofix_r — Allegro 5 API, and bestie, we are in fixed-point conversion territory. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the exact spell, no edits, no vibes-based rewrites:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const al_fixed al_radtofix_r = (al_fixed)2670177;

It's a const al_fixed, and the value is literally (al_fixed)2670177. Periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this constant gives a ratio — yes, a ratio — which can be used to convert a fixed point number in radians to a fixed point number in binary angle format. That's the whole main-character job. It's giving "conversion ratio, but make it fixed-point." 🔥

The page gives this example, and we are copying it exactly:

al_fixed rad_angle, binary_angle;
...
binary_angle = al_fixmul(rad_angle, radtofix_r);

bestie note: the example literally uses radtofix_r (no al_ prefix) — keep it exactly as-is, no editing the code 🫶
